Not sure what to say?

Jim, I wished I had met you sooner. Even well into Alzheimer's you had spunk and I enjoyed our banter, as well as your direction. God Bless you and Miss Jeanine.

As you remember your love one, as God heals your broken hearts (Psalm 147:3), may your treasured memories continue to bring you peace, comfort, and strength to endure.

My two sisters (Lynn and Joan Goodrich, at that time) and I all had History class with Mr. Bramwell. He was a calm influence on us in a rather wild historical era in our country. He was a great teacher, even though he lost the only copy of my senior term paper on Hiroshima. (Those were the days before copiers, believe it or not.) We need more influences like him today. Rest in peace, sir.

I remember Jim with enormous respect and appreciation. At Air Academy he was in that cadre of history teachers we all revered for their scholarship and high expectations. When we opened Rampart, I was panicked about being assigned to teach British Lit, a subject for which I had insufficient historical background. I can never thank Jim enough for all the lunch hours he graciously dedicated to supplementing my knowledge of British and European history. To this day, whenever I read about barons...

Thank you, Jim. You were a great model for a young teacher. Your compassion for students, your passion for education, your scholarship, and your principles. You were a gift for which I'll always be thankful.

Jim was an inspired and inspiring colleague of mine at Rampart High in the early years of my career. I respected him immensely and remember his warm personality. He was truly a gentleman and a scholar. God bless all the works of this wonderful man's life forever!
